Section 1

Overview

Hiring in Nigeria through an Employer of Record lets a foreign company employ staff in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere in the federation without registering a Nigerian company at the Corporate Affairs Commission. The provider is the legal employer: it issues the contract under the Labour Act, registers the employee for pension, health insurance and the statutory funds, runs naira payroll and remits PAYE to the state tax authority, while your company directs the work.

The Nigerian market differs from Europe in two ways that shape the choice of provider. First, the local industry grew out of staff outsourcing for banks, telecoms and oil companies, so the strongest Nigerian providers are large outsourcing houses with thousands of field staff and physical offices, rather than software platforms. Second, very few providers of any kind publish the detail a buyer would check elsewhere, such as the registration number of the employing company or the recruiter's licence the Labour Act requires, so the questions you ask matter more than the website.

TheEORDirectory's guide brings together EOR providers serving Nigeria. It begins with a selection of prominent providers, continues with the full alphabetical list of every provider we can verify, and ends with the websites that market Nigerian EOR without being an independent provider and the comparison sites worth reading alongside this one.

Section 2

How to Compare Nigerian EOR Providers

Start with the employing entity. The Labour Act requires anyone who recruits Nigerians for work, or employs workers and makes them available to a third party, to hold a recruiter's licence or employer's permit from the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, and the Pension Reform Act, NSITF and ITF all attach to a registered employer with a CAC number. Ask every provider for the legal name and RC number of the company that will sign your employee's contract, and for its licence number. On the prominent list below, only a minority publish either, and the cards say so.

Next, compare the model. Nigerian outsourcing houses such as Resource Intermediaries and Workforce Group employ staff on their own books with decades of practice in statutory remittances and expatriate quota; global platforms such as RemotePeople and Rippling bring software, multi-country coverage and published pricing but often do not say whether Nigeria runs on an owned entity or a licensed local partner; newer local start-ups publish prices but have thin track records. Each is legitimate for the right buyer, and the cards flag the trade-offs.

Finally, compare the all-in cost. Employer statutory costs in Nigeria are modest, around 12 to 15 per cent of salary once pension, NSITF, ITF and group life are counted, but health insurance, 13th-month pay and allowances are customary and a provider's fee is either a flat USD amount per employee per month or a percentage of cost-to-company, which diverge sharply at senior salaries.

Section 3

How an Employer of Record Works in Nigeria

Nigeria has no statute called "Employer of Record". The arrangement sits on the Labour Act's provisions for labour contractors and private employment agencies: a licensed company employs the worker and makes them available to your business, which directs the day-to-day work. For staff above the Labour Act's "worker" category, which excludes most managerial and professional roles, the employment relationship is governed by the contract and common law, which gives the parties more freedom over terms.

The provider drafts a written contract, registers the employee with a pension fund administrator under the Pension Reform Act, enrols them in a health plan under the National Health Insurance Authority Act, registers for the Employee Compensation Scheme with NSITF and the Industrial Training Fund, and files monthly PAYE with the state internal revenue service where the employee lives. From January 2026 PAYE follows the Nigeria Tax Act's new bands, with the first ₦800,000 of annual income tax-free and rates rising to 25 per cent above ₦50 million, and employees on the ₦70,000 national minimum wage are exempt.

Hiring a non-Nigerian is a separate process. The employer must hold a business permit and an expatriate quota position from the Ministry of Interior, the employee enters on a subject-to-regularisation visa and applies for a CERPAC residence permit within 90 days, and the whole cycle typically takes eight to twelve weeks. An EOR can only sponsor an expatriate if it holds quota positions itself, which is one of the first things to ask.

Section 4

Licences, Registrations and Statutory Funds

Five statutory schemes attach to every Nigerian employee and your provider should be able to show the registrations behind each. The Pension Reform Act 2014 requires a minimum employer contribution of 10 per cent and an employee contribution of 8 per cent of monthly emoluments, remitted to the employee's pension fund administrator within seven working days of pay day, plus a group life policy of at least three times annual emoluments. The Employee's Compensation Act funds workplace injury cover through a 1 per cent employer contribution to NSITF. The Industrial Training Fund takes 1 per cent of annual payroll from employers with five or more staff or ₦50 million of turnover.

The National Housing Fund deducts 2.5 per cent of basic salary from the employee, and the National Health Insurance Authority Act 2022 makes health cover mandatory, which in practice most EORs meet with an HMO plan. PAYE is remitted monthly to the state where the employee resides; Lagos State Internal Revenue Service handles the majority of EOR hires.

Ask the provider for its CAC registration, its recruiter's licence from the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, evidence of PenCom, NSITF and ITF registration, and, if you plan to bring in expatriates, its business permit and quota approvals. Where a provider on this page publishes none of these, the card says "not published"; that is a prompt to ask, not a verdict.

Section 5

The Hiring Process

A Nigerian hire through an EOR usually runs in one to two weeks for a Nigerian national. The provider agrees salary, allowances and benefits with you, issues a written offer and contract, collects the employee's tax identification number, bank details and pension fund administrator, and registers them for PAYE, pension, NSITF, ITF and health insurance. Probation is not set by statute and is commonly three to six months; notice under the Labour Act rises from one day in the first three months to one month after five years, though contracts for professional staff usually fix one month throughout.

Payroll is monthly in naira, with PAYE, pension and NHF deducted and the employer contributions remitted to each scheme. Public holidays run to eleven to fourteen days a year, annual leave is six working days by statute but fifteen to twenty-five in practice, sick leave is up to twelve days a year, and maternity leave is twelve weeks at not less than half pay under the Labour Act, with many employers paying in full.

Expatriate hires add the business permit, expatriate quota, STR visa and CERPAC steps described above, which have been tightened since May 2025 with stricter quota reviews and, from October 2025, fines and blacklisting for overstays. Budget eight to twelve weeks and confirm the provider holds the quota positions before you recruit.

Section 6

What an EOR Costs in Nigeria

The cost of an EOR hire in Nigeria has three parts: gross salary and allowances, employer statutory costs, and the provider's fee. Statutory employer costs are modest by European standards, roughly 12 to 15 per cent of salary once the 10 per cent pension contribution, 1 per cent NSITF, 1 per cent ITF and group life premium are added, but customary benefits such as an HMO plan, a 13th-month payment, housing and transport allowances and, for senior staff, a car are usually expected and pass through at cost.

Provider fees fall into two patterns. Global platforms publish flat USD fees: about $199 to $499 per employee per month at the low end (RemotePeople, Multiplier, Playroll, Workpay) and $599 to $699 for Remote, Deel and Oyster. Nigerian outsourcing houses quote by proposal, and some local providers charge a percentage of cost-to-company, typically 10 to 15 per cent, which is cheap for junior staff and expensive for senior ones. Most providers also ask for a refundable deposit or pre-funding equal to about one month of total employment cost.

Worked example: a Lagos software engineer on ₦1.2 million a month (about $800) costs roughly ₦150,000 to 180,000 in statutory employer contributions and an HMO plan, plus a provider fee of $199 to $499, so the all-in monthly cost lands between about $1,100 and $1,500 before allowances. The same hire on a 15 per cent-of-CTC model costs about $200 in fees.

Section 7

Planning for Longer-Term Employment

Nigerian law sets no maximum duration for an EOR or outsourcing arrangement, so a hire can remain with the provider indefinitely. The practical limits are commercial: at ten or more staff the fees usually exceed the cost of running a Nigerian subsidiary, and a company registered at the CAC can hold its own expatriate quota, open naira bank accounts and bid for contracts that require a local entity. Registration of a foreign-owned company takes about four to six weeks, after which several providers on this page offer entity support, payroll-only service and a transfer of staff with their seniority intact.

Ending an employment is simpler than in Europe but not without rules. Termination by notice is lawful under the Labour Act and most contracts, but the National Industrial Court increasingly expects a reason, and redundancy under section 20 requires consultation, a last-in-first-out principle and a negotiated redundancy payment. There is no statutory severance formula; the contract and any collective agreement govern, and good providers build a severance line into the contract from the outset.

Ask what the provider charges to transfer employees to your own company, whether a conversion fee applies if you hire directly within a year, and how expatriate quota positions would move across, since quota belongs to the sponsoring entity and does not transfer automatically.

Section 8

Questions to Ask Before Signing

Which Nigerian company will employ my hire, what is its CAC RC number, and does it hold a recruiter's licence or employer's permit from the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment? Can you show PenCom, NSITF, ITF and NHF registrations and the group life policy? Do you hold expatriate quota positions, and in which categories? Is the fee flat or a percentage of cost-to-company, what does it include, is a deposit required and when is it returned?

How long from signed order to first day for a Nigerian national, and for an expatriate? Which state tax authority will receive PAYE, and will you apply the 2026 Nigeria Tax Act bands? Which HMO plan and 13th-month terms are standard? What are the termination, redundancy and conversion terms if I hire the employee directly or move to my own entity? Who is my named contact in Lagos?

The provider fact sheets linked from each card show what each company publishes on these points. Where our researchers could find nothing, the card says so, and that is the moment to ask.

Websites that are not independent Nigeria EORs

1 checked

Sites that market Employer of Record services in Nigeria but, on the public record, are either a landing page for a provider already listed or cannot be tied to an identifiable operator. Listing a site here is a statement about what its pages disclose, not about the quality of any service.

nigeriaeor.com ↗

Expandyte / Expand EOR network; no entity disclosed

Nigeria EOR says it acts as the legal employer through "our established Nigerian entity", registered with the CAC and holding expatriate quota, with 1 to 2 week onboarding and 24-hour proposals, but names no company, RC number, address, directors or staff; the only contact is an email address and the terms choose Lagos courts. It is one of a family of single-page, template-built country sites alongside Expand EOR (expandeor.com) and the now-defunct Expandyte, which described itself in its indexed pages as "a platform connecting clients with law firms" that "does not provide legal services directly", a global entity-setup connector rather than an employer. On the public record it is a lead-generation front for whichever provider it refers enquiries to, not an independent Nigerian Employer of Record.
